Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I am learning
You've got a story as well
Flowing through us making us who we are
And just like a river that runs
The story of Jesus comes
Into our hearts so that we can know
Let the river run wild and free
The river of your love for me
Fill my heart and my soul till I overflow
This is a time to be real
This is a time for courage
Time for going deeper still
For letting go into His will
Let the river run wild and free
The river of your love for me
Fill my heart and my soul till I overflow
Overflow let me overflow
Fill my heart and my soul
Let me overflow
